St. Patrick’s Day parking

Parking will be available on Hutchinson Island during St. Patrick’s Day festivities Saturday.

The city of Savannah, Chatham Area Transit and the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center are working together to ease parking and transportation issues during the celebration, said Bret Bell, city spokesman.

Parking will be available at the Trade & Convention center for $15 — which includes roundtrip transportation across the river — beginning 6:30 a.m. Saturday.

Those parking on Hutchinson will be able to use either the ferry or a shuttle to cross over the Savannah River.

The ferry will operate from 7 a.m. Saturday until 2:30 a.m. Sunday.

CAT will also offer a shuttle over the Talmadge Bridge to Indian Street just west of River Street and back from 7 a.m. Saturday to 4 a.m. Sunday.

Bell said parking on Hutchinson will help those attending the parade avoid heavy downtown traffic during the celebration.
